A farmer-led Abergavenny based charity, Stump Up for Trees continues its mission to plant one million trees in the Brecon Beacons with the help of the Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund.

One year ago, WWF, the RSPB and Aviva came together to launch the Save Our Wild Isles Community Fund, a fund making it easier for communities to take action for UK nature in their local area.

From the Scottish Highlands, right down to the Cornish Riviera, nearly 250 groups took part, collectively raising over £2.5million, from over 12,000 supporters, to help bring UK nature back to life.

In Abergavenny, Stump Up For Trees raised £10,755 from 63 supporters with the help of the Save Our Wild Isles Fund. The funding supported the group primarily in making their nursery more accessible to volunteers, and to help their water management on site. Grown from the local farming community, and now working with passionate local-community volunteers, ‘Stump Up For Trees’ ambition is to plant 1 million trees in the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog), and create a diverse native habitat to help combat the UK nature crisis.
